My 88 year old mother is dying of cancer. We brought her to our home yesterday. She wants to go back to her home and we hope that she may be able to do that at least for a period of time. Otherwise my wife and I intend with the help of hospice to keep her as comfortable as possible for as long as God chooses to give her life. She has been a strong Chtistian woman her entire life. She is at peace with her condition and outlook with the exception of the being kept comfortable part. That is what I would request prayers for. The doctors say a 50% chance of making it 4 months but we know the timing is known only by God. Regardless of whether 2 months or 2 years, we only pray for comfort. We know the road ahead will be rough and an emotional time but these are the cards we have been dealt. A friend of hers told me the other day that " God is pleased with your mother. She has been a life long witness and blessing to countless people. She has been a faithful servant to Him." We know that our loss will be heaven's gain. We just ask that the end be merciful.
